Herbal formulas can help women with dysfunctional hormonal patterns by realigning their hypothalamic-pituitary axis interaction. Women who have hormonal imbalances caused by irregular periods often experience stagnation of blood and bioenergy flow.Chasteberry (also known as Vitex) increases the luteinizing hormones and progesterones, hormones key to regulating the monthly cycle, while Bupleurum can cleanse a liver and regulate the metabolism of hormones, especially estrogen.

Anemia, a condition in which an individual can feel fatigued even after a good night’s rest, tends to occur because of a lack of iron thanks to a poor diet. Most women with a heavy menstrual flow, however, can contract the condition even with a great diet. Proper diet can provide the essential iron sources, while adequate sleep can re-energize an individual. Alongside sleep and diet, natural herbs can help impede a heavy menstrual flow from exuding essential iron from the body. Thanks to Shepherd’s Purse, an astringent herb known to constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow, women who take the herb can see a significant reduction in bleeding.

Worn inside the vagina during menstruation, menstrual cups collect menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it like a tampon or pad. Menstrual cup can also reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS),a potential fatal illness that occurs when bacterial toxins enter the blood stream through tears of the vaginal tissue often caused by high-absorption tampons.

Often, the distress and pain associated with PMS is normal and endurable. But for some women, the pain can be a source of agony and stress. Most of the discomfort can be reduced or relieved thanks to a realignment of the body’s hormonal production.
